"What the report finds is that Biden held on to 94% of the people who said they would support him before the debate. For Trump, 86% of people who said they would support him before the debate said they would do so after the debate."

At the insistence of Matthew Kirschenbaum of UMd and the inspiration of Leah Price of Rutgers, I finally am setting (real) type, having joined a wonderful class in The History of 19th & 20th Century Typography and Printing with Katherine Ruffin and John Kristensen at the Rare Book School at UVa.

I watched Morning Joe, just like this inaccurate stenographer. This is not what she said. She said the decision is his to make. Yes, the future tense opens a window a crack, but that is not a hint for him to reconsider. I feared The Times would wishfully run with this, as they predictably have.

Yesterday, Trump emerged from his "gilded" cave and spat out endless horrors but The Times leads this morning with a meaningless analysis of his club guests and treating his VP choice as a game show.

The Times continues to fluff Barrett. She voted for some of the worst Supreme Court decisions in history but The Times thinks she's the spunky white nationalist.

The Times treats Biden as its opponent in a game the newsroom is playing.

Trump emerged from his basement and issued an unending string of dangerous insanities and yet the Post normalizes it all as a stump speech because that's the campaign narrative they refuse to abandon.

For the Post, one senator's opinion is a landslide worthy of the lead headline in its campaign against Biden.

The Times' agenda gets clearer every day: They are out for Biden, for the Democrats, for democracy.

The odds of my supporting @MikieSherrill for governor of New Jersey just plummeted to zero. Shameful. We don't need fair-weather Democrats.

"Black women aren't eager to abandon him." Oh, ferchrissake, could The Times have found a worse way to speak the truth? Which is: "Black Women dare to tell The Times it should shut up and and listen."

Legal ads are a subsidy, since any local government could just put its notices on the web, for free, saving taxpayers all that money. Publishers hate when I say that. 2/

Interesting battle: Upstart local digital news site gets law changed re placing of government legal ads, which could amount to $100k+. Guess what: Big, bad, corporate Gannett sues to keep the subsidy. 1/

Meanwhile, the Post buries this important story waaaaay down its home page because they aren't paying attention to Black voters.

Let's fix the Post: Biden sees a different world than media manufacture. Parkinson's doctor consults on many things (and found no Parkinsons). Where today is good or bad for Biden is up to the Post and Times.

Scarborough paraphrasing anti-Biden Richard Haass: If this election is about Biden, Trump wins; if it is about Trump, Biden wins. Look at media coverage, ignoring Trump, as if they have to wait for him to leave the golf course to cover his crimes & insanities. They choose how to cover this election.
